For just the third time in history, Louisiana-Lafayette is deeper in the NCAA baseball postseason than LSU and is two wins away from becoming just the third school from Louisiana to reach the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., without the Tigers also there.

Yes, the Cajuns' greatest athletic year in history continues. No. 1 ranked in USA Today and a No. 6 national seed, ULL (57-8) hosts No. 17 Ole Miss (44-18) in a best-of-three Super Regional beginning Saturday in Lafayette with Omaha on the line, while No. 5 LSU (46-16-1) is home for summer 45 minutes away.
